As at 01/10/2023, RSE workers will receive 2 days of sick leave on their start date and then 2 additional days on each monthly anniversary for all RSE visas granted after 30/09/2023. These additional 2 days continue until they reach the maximum allowance of 10 days (5 months after their visa grant date).
This change contrasts with the existing method where employees are eligible for the full set of 10 sick leave days only after 6 months of work.
